Abstract:
Many researches have been done in the field of analyzing the
performance characteristics for different aircrafts, but by using the
analytical approach.
Hence this project is introduced to simulate the performance validation of
L-410turbolet by using the drag polar obtained by using computational
fluid dynamics (CFD);because of the reliability of this procedure and its
high ability to compute and analyze the complex systems. FLUENT
package is the program that used to do the computations. The results were
realistic and were in consistence with the aerodynamic theories. Also the
actual manufacturer engine characteristics data have been employed in
simulating the performance validation and in designing the MATLAB
software in order to obtain the most proper results and to minimize as
possible the error which can results from using only the theoretical
formulas of the analytical approach.
